Class Descriptions

AERIAL HOOP EXPRESS

(INTRODUCTORY)

This 30-minute introductory class is designed for students who have never done Aerial Hoop/Lyra or who still feel new to the apparatus. Become acquainted with basic positions sitting in the hoop and hand grip positions, and feel what it is like to have the hoop on various parts of your body. Class size is small, and each student will have their own low-hanging hoop.

AERIAL HOOP

(LYRA) OPEN LEVEL

A fun and challenging class open to all levels (including beginners!). The aerial hoop is a metal ring which is suspended from the ceiling. Students will learn to take flight and apply their strength. We introduce basic grips and conditioning movements, increase hand strength, apply your flexibility, and help you gain confidence. Beginning students will learn how to mount the hoop, sitting positions, and other foundation skills. Consistently returning students will progress to learn new and more challenging positions and sequences. Wear clothing that covers the legs and backs of knees (e.g. leggings or yoga pants). No jewelry. 60 minutes.

FIND MY

HANDSTAND

Make those handstands come easier to you with fun drills and exercises. Learn to engage the basic muscle groups that help you hold headstands, forearm stands, and handstands (core, back, shoulders, hips). Students will practice solo- and partner-focused drills and stretches to make you stronger and more flexible! Consistently returning students may progress to more advanced variations of inversions. Prerequisite: students should be able to hold a plank push-up position for at least 15 seconds. Regular gym attire. No jewelry. 60 minutes.

FLEXIBILITY

This class will help you increase your body's range of motion. We start with a warm-up to increase the heart rate and overall mobility. Class moves at a moderate pace of holding stretches prolonged periods of time, often for up to several minutes. Highly recommended for students who want to increase their flexibility, especially those who want to improve their splits, back bends, forward bends, and shoulder flexibility. Great for improving posture, relieving stress, and alleviating tightness from sitting or exercise! 90 minutes.

GYMNASTICS

TUMBLING

& WOODEN RINGS

Learn the basics and fundamentals of gymnastics - no prior experience required! Students will learn forward rolls, backward rolls, shoulder rolls, and their variations. Then students move on to learning cartwheels, round-offs, and front and back walkovers. The last portion of class is dedicated to the wooden rings on which students can learn different hanging positions and inversions. Please tie back hair, but please avoid hair buns, which will make rolling over the head difficult. 60 minutes.
